I’d run from Chicago! All the good and decent people are DISARMED and gangs etc. are armed to the teeth! You don’t have to be rich to raise your children with proper values and integrity! Chicago is one of many cities who have lost and criminals out of office.

You’d run from your own shadow, coward.

Would you like to find out? Chickenshit!

I am sorry to inform you, citizens in Chicago are allowed to own guns, and they may even “concealed carry” – legally.

Maybe you have not kept up, but in 2010, the SCOTUS struck down Chicago and Oak Park’s gun laws as being unconstitutional. (See McDonald v Chicago)

And for your information, the following states have the most restrictive gun laws:
California…
Connecticut. …
Colorado. …
District of Columbia. …
Maryland. …
Massachusetts. …
New Jersey. …
New York…

Funny, I don’t see Illinois or Chicago in that list.

A 7-year-old was shot in Chicago while trick-or-treating Thursday evening by a gunman targeting someone else, police said. The girl is in critical condition.

Let’s take away guns from law abiding citizens, and police, that way nobody will have them except the thugs ! One day you too may be considered “collateral” damage!!

How would arming anyone have prevented this shooting?

When the people of America can’t trust the media, it becomes a propaganda machine and an enemy of the state. Turn off mainstream news and shut them down.

Trumps WANTS the news media to be a propaganda machine, and they refuse, except for Fox, and even they’ve started calling him out on his crap.

It’s unconscionable that Wasserman Schultz is still in politics. The only woman I can think of who has been involved in more scandals, is “Infamous Hillary” herself. Time to vote these lifelong liars and criminals out of office.

Reagan library threatened by wildfire, Trump refuses to send federal help, just like he did with Marshalltown. https://www.foxla.com/news/ronald-reagan-presidential-library-threatened-after-new-wildfire-erupts-north-of-los-angeles

You are so full of shit. Even the liberal governor said the federal government had given California everything they asked for.

Let’s see the cite, then, because you seem to be the only one who thinks that.

Republican Rep admits he could have gone to the hearings but chose not to. He also didn’t read the testimony.

GRANDSTAY HOTEL COMPLEX: once again Clear Lake has one-upped MC. This complex was voted on and approved with the WHOLE city in mind, not just a certain entity. 8,500 sq foot event center to boot. Done in one year. No remodel and then leasing. Bought it, did it. OPEN YOUR EYES MC.

Makes a joke out of our mayor, council and governing bodies. Good job Clear Lake.

agree. kinda like our ‘road remodel that was to be completed by Oct 15th, 100% done the people on-site said. NOPE. Street itself is not even complete. Let alone the sides. But our taxes doubles in 3 years.

oh-no, we gotta get that road done for ALL the extra hockey attendees that will be coming. yep-right.

Gee, the DOT contact says November, not October.

right, next will be Decemeber

The site foreman told us no later then 10/15.-business owner

I think Mason City got a way better deal. Why would a city offer up $4M in incentives to build a hotel on a prime piece of real estate with direct interstate access and absolutely pathetic competition?

AND!!! The COUP Continues

It’s a criminal prosecution, not a coup. It just so happens that the criminal stole the White House.

This whole impeachment process done by the Democrats is a total disgrace. I used to be a member of the democratic party. I left the party. The party doesn’t represent my values anymore.The party represents globalism, the party wants open borders. Socialism, and wealth distribution. The way to get wealthy in the united states is to work your ass off and if you remain healthy and have some luck in the process you have an opportunity to get wealthy. The bs the democratic party is up to now is a total disgrace. Women will be raped, people will be killed ect ect if the Democrats are successful in overthrowing this president. Were in a non shooting war right now but don’t fool yourself this war could turn violent.

I was a democrat also. But the party is turned south.

You don’t have any values anymore. Anyone who would vote for Trump is devoid of values.

DEMOCRATS WILL DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY FREEDOM.THEY WILL TAKE EVERYONE’S MONEY .LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO VENEZUELA.IT WAS THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,SO SOCIALISM IS VERY BAD .WE WILL LIVE IN HELL

Ha ha ha.

Wow, even the quality of Republican bots has gone downhill! LOL

Epstein did NOT commit suicide…..what happened to the two guards who were watching him who coincidently both fell asleep at the same time on their watch and coincidently, the cameras that were monitoring his cell suddenly were not working…… speak volumes to me.

Mafiosos from Giuliani’s crooked past, on Trump’s orders.

You’re a MORON.

Trump and Giuliani have a long and cozy relationship with the Mafia. How do you think they managed to avoid getting whacked?

Pelosi thinks she is a great house speaker! We can’t believe how she acts! The Dems have completely taught us to never vote for a Democrat again! We Stand with our President Trump all the way!

Who’s we? Got another turd in your pocket?

Hate and alcohol really does terrible things to a person! I notice it on Nancy Pelosi. She looks as though she has aged many years, and is becoming less attractive as the days go by!!! She hates the President that much!!!

Look again. That’s not the tv you’re looking at, it’s the mirror.

Demonrats have never been held accountable…have never been through this because they have always gotten away with things…you see how they handle things…sad people

Yeah, right. Clinton was impeached by Republiperverts for one BJ, which is not even an impeachable offense, because they were jealous of his charisma. Sleazy charisma, but charisma, which none of the Repugs have any of. Trump commits an inpeachable or indictable offense nearly every day, usually on camera!

You’ve been watching way too much CNN & MSNBC.

Quote”Why do African Americans destroy the neighborhoods they move into?

Quote from who? You, bot? Obviously English as a second language, among other crap.

DON’T DISMISS THIS QUESTION AS RACIST……but it’s hard to argue against the facts. Detroit, Compton, Newark, Philly, etc. Every geographic region controlled by black people is always a dump, filled with crime, crooked leaders, drugs, murder, mayhem, poverty, disease, etc. What is it? I believe it has to do with lack of education and this trend passes on from generation to generation. African American community leaders can’t just ignore the facts. They need to intervene and do more in order to improve the reputation of their community.”

Why does it seem that every member of congress that comes from the state of California are always the main ones involved in every attempt to do harm to government and American society? I am guessing they see the progress of other states in improving the lives of their own citizens as a threat to expose the total failures of California government to reach the same level of progress.Perhaps most of the other states look at California and determine to work harder to Not become anything like California? Both cases could be True………

Wait…there are homeless people living on the streets….Veterans that need help….kids who need help and this is what they’ve got….a song from 1944 that offends some so they’ve changed the words???? God help us!

Our country was founded on the ideas that Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness were the most important principals. Again, in order to form a more perfect union, we established our Constitution. In the amendments to our Constitution, we re-affirmed the most basic of rights for all the people.

That right is freedom. Of speech, of the Press, to petition Government, and most of all, of Religion. It was so important, that the Framers put it first, just as Jefferson put Life first. It is the very basic foundations of our Country.

In the beginning of our existence on this side of the world, we welcomed people of all faiths to our land, free to practice the precepts of their religions. Pilgrim Fathers, Amish, Lutherans, Quakers, Baptists, Anglicans, and Jews all free to believe as they were taught, without interference from Government, nor bias.

Yet today, there are those in our country, indeed this very community, who think it fashionable, even right, to interfere with the rights of some who follow their faith, a mainstream, established faith. In direct violation of not only our Laws, but indeed, against of our Constitution.

I have to ask, what gives them the right to abridge the rights of others? Is our Constitution that meaningless to them? Disposable when it suits them? And if they succeed in ridding our country of one religion, who is to stop them from others? Where will it end? Lithuanians? Serbians? Egyptians? Koreans? Sudanese? Peruvians?

Who is next on your list of purges?

If by ‘interference’ you mean refusing to let you cram your religion down our throats, yes. Once again, your rights end where mine begin, and I don’t share your beliefs, which is MY right.

A Democratic city clerk in Michigan who had been honored by the state party for her work was charged this week with multiple felonies related to charges of altering absentee ballots. Sherikia Hawkins was arraigned Monday in Southfield, Michigan, on six counts related to the 2018 election including forging public documents and misconduct in office and was released on $15,000 bond, according to National Review Online.
Another corrupt Dem. Seems there is a lot of this lately. Especially in the House in Washington.

Any more examples?

Let’s see a cite on this.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders recently proposed nationwide rent controls as part of their sweeping plans to transform America’s housing market. Taken together, the plans would stymie new housing and keep cities choked in red tape.

The absolute opposite is happening under these bureaucracies, they are diminishing, liberties, freedoms and the Democratic process, just look at the people that they protect and they that they would destroy, this man is delusional and believes his own propaganda. Clean out all these illegitimate governors and replace them with servants of the Elected Government representatives of the majority of the people.

The voters in those districts elected those officials, and they don’t need your permission. Move there and vote against those officials if you’re that worried about it.

Last I heard (until the Constitution is altered), the executive branch bureaucracy is mandated by law to carry out the policies that the president makes. The president represents the will of the people by election. To circumvent that will is derelict and illegal. I hope W. Barr was listening to what Brennan said.

Unless said policies are illegal or unconstitutional by definition, in which case they have an obligation NOT to carry out those crooked orders.

Opinions, illusions.Deception, Liberals game, Don’t look good for them.

When Obama was President for 8 years I only had two very small raises in my Social Security, Since Trump has been in office I have had a good raise every year, the rich people who run a business and employee people have hired more and have given good raises also, If they had not hired the un employment numbers would not have improved. the only people crying are the Dems and there is nothing that can be done that they would like.

Oh, bullshit. I get Social Security too, and it hasn’t gone up a nickel.

Just keep up the BS that Climate Change is the cause of all these fires. The cause is overbuilding in mountainous areas with excessive trees and brush that can’t be cut down and cleared due the environmentalist whackos in that State.

PG & E’s astounding level of corporate greed has a lot to do with it, too.

California is not maintaining their forests properly. Stop mismanaging your state, and put your money where your mouth is. Direct some funding towards Environmental Conservation to clean up and take responsibility for these areas. The State of California run by Demonrats has not been governed efficiently in years. Climate change is certainly not the problem – inept government shoulders that burden.

Trump keeps insisting the transcript he released of the call to Ukraine is word for word and that Schiff made up stuff. The transcript, according to the WH, was a “rough translation” of the call. That means it wasn’t word for word. Yesterday’s witness in the House said that the ‘transcript’ left out almost all the references to Biden and his son. Caught!

Don’t “do a Pelosi” …actually read something.

That should be do a trump. He needs picture books to learn stuff

That’s why he is President and you are nothing.

RUSSIA

You are Soooooooooo stupid. Just ask Mueller.

You are Soooooooooo stupid.

Pervert “Christian” preacher saves the taxpayers some money. https://radioink.com/2019/10/28/host-facing-sex-charges-allegedly-kills-himself/

Obama is a used rubber… He has no security clearance anymore. He’s a washed up old prostitute who was bought and sold for the democratic party…

What a class act you are. BTW, Obama isn’t seeking any security clearance, or anything else. It’s so obvious that you can see how badly Trump compares to the REAL class act, Obama.

lolololhahahhah……oh your serious!

You mean YOU’RE serious? Illiterate.

Oregon itself years ago was a gorgeous state to live in…. but like everything the libs touch it turns to crap.

Greedy rich Republican CONservatives are the ones who destroy everything they touch. Pump sewage from huge pig farms into the ground, the water, and the stench into the air.

Yea right. Tell that to Chitcago, Dedtroit, Minnestupid, or any other city or state run by Democrats. Idiot!

I agree. If you want feces on your sidewalks vote Democrat in 2020.

Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital? Have you heard a Muslim orchestra? Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade? Have you witnessed a Muslim charity? Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout? Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper? The answer is no, you have not. Have you asked yourself WHY? Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: “I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America ‘s history.”

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN’S RESPONSE
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians. Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians. Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence ? Bill of Rights? Didn’t think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country’s freedom from England ? No. Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Mr. Obama, Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as “pug nosed slaves.” Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family’s “rich Islamic heritage,” doesn’t it Mr. Obama? Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights. Where were Muslims during this country’s Woman’s Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the ‘hajib’ or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women’s rights, aren’t they? Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi’s in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren’t flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network’s that day. Strangely, the very “moderate” Muslims whose asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day. And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the “rich heritage” Muslims have here in America….
Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 – the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan . Also, don’t forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama is the “Muslim heritage” in America. EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS !! Muslim Heritage, my ass.

Look up pictures of the KKK celebrating when Trump was elected. Or when he said they were very fine people. Or find a pic of Putin laughing at us because we elected his puppet to our presidency. Most of what you say is factually incorrect but there is no sense arguing with a moron.

Talk about morons and you are talking about you and your family. What has the KKK got to do with Muslims taking over our country. You are a idiot.

Oh no, the old teach has nothing. The posts look accurate to me. Muzzies are not and do not want to be Americans.

How many Muslims do you know eLViS? How many have you talked to or spent time with?

And where do you own homes Mooochelle? Oh that’s right. .Martha’s Vinyard. You hypocrite attempting to lay a guilt trip on us!

More class stuff from Republiscum. Whatever real estate the Obamas own, at least it isn’t infested with vermin like Trump’s Bedbug Hotel. Oh, and it has bedbugs, too.

Worse. It’s infested with OBAMAS.

This whole impeachment process done by the Democrats is a total disgrace. I used to be a member of the democratic party. I left the party. The party doesn’t represent my values anymore.The party represents globalism, the party wants open borders. Socialism, and wealth distribution. The way to get wealthy in the united states is to work your ass off and if you remain healthy and have some luck in the process you have a opportunity to get wealthy. The bs the democratic party is up to now is a total disgrace. Women will be raped, people will be killed ect ect if the Democrats are successful in over throwing this president. Were in a non shooting war right now but don’t fool yourself this war could turn violent.

Demonrats have one yr then the election is here. I would suggest to them, instead of wasting millions and millions of dollars on impeachment. They concentrate on winning the election in 2020. They keep up what there doing President Trump will win the election and they will be defeated handily. Look what they did to.last supreme court justice that trump.nominated. Smeared him so bad tried to destroy his life. These people are capable of anything and that includes the nuclear option of assassination. I’m not joking either if they cant impeach him and they know they cant beat him at the ballot box they will try to take him out through assasination.

This is what happens when you have DemocRATs running your state. Highest Crime Rates, Taxes, and Homeless Populations as the State burns to the ground because they refuse to maintain the Forest and Fields from fire danger. Californians need to be asking we’re all their tax dollars in federal dollars per piece band that are allocated to prevent these issues are going.

Then post your bullshit on a California website. This one is North Iowa Today.

What’s behind it is California’s lame brain governor and the Dumbocrat politicians who violate the Constitution with the sanctuary cities. People should revolt before California turns into a third world country!

Move there and vote if you’re so worried about it. Quit using up North Iowa bandwidth.

That’s what I pay for!

The body of disgraced money man and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan federal prison cell in August, bore telltale signs of homicide despite an official ruling that he killed himself. Looks like Clinton work again.

Got proof of that? I bet it points to trump.

Of course it points to Trump. He has much more to lose than the Clintons.

“Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations vanished from the earth ! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of humankind.”

The Somali gang problem is incredible and the leadership in Minneapolis and Minnesota in general is allowing it to grow and fester. When people come to the United States as refugees it is because they seek to escape from a nation that considers such acts normal to one that denounces them and offers safety. It’s obviously no surprise how a person who hates America, is a terrorist sympathizer, and refers to the 9/11 attacks as “some people did some things,” is the representative of the Somali Clan Gang area. It’s alleged that Omar is part of a clan in Puntland in which her alleged REAL father is a top member of the Al-Shabab affiliate group. We haven’t confirmed this information because Homeland Security and ICE citing “ongoing investigations” rapport when asked.
Indeed, why are we bringing them in and why are we allowing them to colonize and terrorize neighborhoods. Perhaps, we should be rethinking deporting them back to their homeland.

Islam is older than Christianity, and like Christianity, radical elements of it have been perverted into violent, nationalist, misogynist militancy. Some of their people are acting like murderous idiots, but so are some of ours.

You are correct about that. Especially the ones calling for a civil war if Trump doesn’t get reelected.

In the 35 days since Nancy Pelosi unilaterally declared impeachment, Democrats have:
• Abused their power
• Leaked deposition content
• Refused due process
In America’s justice system, THIS WOULD CONSTITUTE A MISTRIAL. But for Democrats, anything goes if it means removing President Trump from office.

In the 35 days since Nancy Pelosi began an impeachment investigation, as her job requires her to do when presented with sufficient credible evidence, the House of Representatives has:
• Used their power as required by law
• Taken depositions as required by law
• Followed due process as required by law
Even most Republicans know this is a train wreck, and will not end well for them. Lunatic Trumpsters are even making death threats to Republican lawmakers now.

Republican Rep admits he could have gone to the hearings but chose not to. He also didn’t read the testimony.
https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/gop-congressman-admits-he-could-have-gone-to-impeachment-hearings-but-didnt-hasnt-read-testimony/

Nancy needs to go, enough is enough! Elected officials such as Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Harris, and Governor’s Brown Sr./Jr. and now Newsome (Nancy’s nephew) have almost ruined California and now they are trying to destroy America! Conservatives are moving out of our state in the thousands. Our state is being run by a dictator and a majority of liberal socialistic views!

“Our state?” Iowa is run by Republicans, who stand by impotently while Trump destroys our state’s economy. Bitch about California on California websites, bot. Whoever hired the bot-maker should get a refund, they can’t even keep straight what to bitch about.

When you are among the highest paid teachers in the nation and you have struck 3 times in 7 years for more pay it’s kind of hard to garner public support. Especially when that public paying your salary is taxed to the max now and the raise you guys want is only going to push those taxes higher! The fact that CPS student test scores are among the lowest in the country sure doesn’t help your cause either. Let’s not try to kid anyone here. This is about GREED and nothing else!

Look at this idiot bitching about teacher pay at “CPS,” California Public Schools. This is North Iowa Today, take your stupid crap elsewhere!

I think he is referring to Chicago Public Schools but when he copies and pastes so much he doesnt make himself clear. And he wants to be our state rep in Des Moines. What a joke.

Joe playing the racist card again this is what the democrats party is doing every time they want votes. It’s really getting old and very sad.

Sanders is just what we need, another Obama who turned people against law enforcement!

Isn’t it ironic. Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, hated dogs. So all muslims are taught to hate dogs. Yet it was a military dog who chased down Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in an underground tunnel on his last day on this earth❗

History says otherwise about Muhammad, the prophet of Islams hatred of dogs as you allege. While dogs are currently viewed as an unclean animal, dogs were actually welcomed by the prophet who prayed in their presence.

I have a really hard time thinking there are so many ppl that would even consider supporting these “candidates “ and I call them that very loosely,and actually think they will do what’s best for America. They want to take away any rights we as Americans have now. If you think because you vote for any one of them that you will be exempt from what they are proposing, then you need to wake up to reality.

You are full of shit.

Great intellectual post. Typical DemocRAT.

The deviation just keeps spreading n “justice” keeps helping it along?!? Any of these judges that keep letting crimes go unjustly unpunished should be FIRED, w/out any pensions or help n their future-GOTTA PUT AN END TO IT “NOW”

After arriving in the U.S., a Somali refugee raped two women at knifepoint in Salt Lake City, Utah. However, even after confessing to the rapes as he “smiled and laughed,” the suspect was given leniency because of what he promised to the judge.

Nice spin on the story but as usual, you don’t tell the whole story. The kid was 14 when he did this and he has spent the last 6 years in a secure juvenile detention center. The judge took into account his time served and reports from the center before “…she sentenced him to strict probation — requiring weekly check-ins with the court and his probation officer, no internet access and ankle monitoring, among other restrictions.
If he violates his probation in any way, Trease said, she “won’t bat an eye” in sending him to prison to serve consecutive sentences on the three crimes he pleaded guilty to in adult court.”
All you want to do is spread more fear and hate.

What’s the spin? Your post is the “spin”.

As it is now if you live in NY and taking in to account all taxes, state, county, federal, sales, gas, property, user fees, registration, and so on. You work until late May or early June before you keep one penny for your family. And theses people want you to work until October before you get anything for your family. Oh ya sounds like great growth policy to me. What world do these assholes live in.

12 posts in 6 minutes. You are a lot like the president. He must of tweeted 50 times a day the past few days. Are you Eric?

You are just pissed because you are to slow and to stupid to do it.

Larrey, you are just pissed because you filled your Depends again today and can’t empty them till momma gets home.

Because the first black President was a miserable failure & you share the same policies. Now, Condoleezza Rice is a totally different story. I’d vote for her.

The color of your skin has nothing to do with the American people not being ready for it. It’s, you, yourself, KAMALA that no one can stand!! Your policies stink right along with everything about you!!

Condy Rice,Nikki Haley, Candace Owens, these are women of integrity and intelligence, devoted to this country’s success; you Harris, on the other hand, have a platform that will destroy us.
